Even if we're just 160,000,000 in the country, then 43.3 million Nigerians are unemployed based on this stats

Not entirely true. I have seen situations where a person was buried one year or two years after because no funds

Nigerian Youth themselves are not helping matter, time and season have changed we have to deal with that. This is 21st Century not 20th century when job assurance was very high for graduates. What this generation requires is skills and Entrepreneurship. Don't just go to school to study one useless course make sure you develop yourself as well and start small no matter how small it is.

More and more people will lose their jobs all over the world as Automation takes place
Re: NBS: 21.7 Millions Nigerians Now Unemployed by Vonoforeal(m): 10:53am On Aug 14, 2020
Stop looking for job. If everybody were looking for job like you, then who will create the jobs. Why can't we think and do something meaningful for our future. There is no future in any job and no future in working under sombody either.
Re: NBS: 21.7 Millions Nigerians Now Unemployed by Nobody: 10:55am On Aug 14, 2020
The country situation also leads to the unwillingness. If those unwilling find a good job to do they will do it. So, in essence it is not out of place to say those unwilling still envisaged a job to do, this brings total unemployment population to 38.7 million, which should be more than that if not for political and poor record keeping. Frustration leads to the unwilling, which leads to fraudulent path of searching for lively hood.

Even those that have learned some skill is practically not engaged..were by the government have failed to absorb a certain percentage of it's citizens...they will be decieving the gullible idiots with empowerment
